Best Ever Punk/New Wave Song?

[kenster197]

Maybe, but they changed very quickly. I think The Jam weren't ever a punk band in the truest sense because they never really had that anarchic feel to them. They knew where they were going (or at least Weller and his Dad did) and they just kept it up. The Jam were far too 'controlled' and focused to be a real punk band.

That's why they survived.

Punk wasn't about being "anarchic" though the media may have portrayed that. Punk was about having a voice. It may have been far from the normal voice at times but at other times that voice could be as melodic and poetic as the mainstream. It was about what you wanted to say and how you said it, the Jam, like it or not sang / played punk music. "in the city" sung by ANY recognised punk band would to this day be a punk classic.

John Lydon might disagree with kenster

John Lydon would disagree with himself if a camera was on him.

Yes that's right punk is dead..... all about the old days.
Punk Is Dead.
Yes that's right, punk is dead,
It's just another cheap product for the consumers head.
Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors,
Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters.
CBS promote the Clash,
But it ain't for revolution, it's just for cash.
Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be
And it ain't got a thing to do with you or me.
Movements are systems and systems kill.
Movements are expressions of the public will.
Punk became a movement cos we all felt lost,
But the leaders sold out and now we all pay the cost.
Punk narcissism was social napalm,
Steve Jones started doing real harm.
Preaching revolution, anarchy and change
As he sucked from the system that had given him his name.
Well I'm tired of staring through shit stained glass,
Tired of staring up a superstars arse,
I've got an arse and crap and a name,
I'm just waiting for my fifteen minutes fame.
Steve Jones you're napalm,
If you're so pretty (vacant) why do you swarm?
Patti Smith you're napalm,
You write with your hand but it's Rimbaud's arm.
And me, yes I, do I want to burn?
Is there something I can learn?
Do I need a business man to promote my angle?
Can I resist the carrots that fame and fortune dangle?
I see the velvet zippies in their bondage gear,
The social elite with safety-pins in their ear,
I watch and understand that it don't mean a thing,
The scorpions might attack, but the systems stole the sting.
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.

[Lavinda Past]

British punk was shit. London killed it as soon as it started. Malcolm sold a lot of torn old clothes to a lot of mugs for a lot of money.

Ha Ha Ha - Ever been had?

American punk - That's where it's at.

 

[york away to this!]

In response to prairiemoon..... Funnily enough I went to see "Steve ignorant plays crass songs" on tour last year, you could buy black polo shirts with an embroidered crass logo in reception whilst the bald, middle aged fat bloke tried to top up his pension pot by performing to a room full of accountants, lawyers and architects....... Punk is dead.....(still loved the tunes, though!!)
